If you are looking for the perfect fried shrimp tacos with slaw these are it! Fried shrimp tacos are loaded with crispy golden fried shrimp and topped with a creamy mango slaw.
Guys, it was 70 degrees in Seattle last week. SEVENTY. And there were blue skies, fluffy white clouds and sunshine. That, my friends, my favorite weather because that means it’s time crack open a corona and make tacos. And obviously when I say “tacos” I mean these Fried Shrimp Tacos with Mango Slaw.
Shrimp tacos have always been one of my favorites. And judging by my search traffic, shrimp tacos have a lot of fans. In fact, the most popular recipe on my blog, by far, is my recipe for Shrimp Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sour Cream. And it’s good. Really good. Now, I know you shouldn’t mess with a good thing, but I thought it was time to create a crispy version of shrimp tacos so I decided to make these Fried Shrimp Tacos with Mango Slaw.
They’ve got the whole crispy, crunchy, sweet, spicy and creamy thing going on. And you are going to LOVE them.
The breading in these crispy shrimp tacos is the classic: flour, egg/milk wash and panko combo. It’s my go to combo when I’m frying. In this recipe, it makes the shrimp perfectly crunchy and crispy.
As much as I love the crispy shrimp, because I mean really, you can’t go wrong with fried shrimp, I think the mango slaw might be my favorite part of these tacos. It’s sweet thanks to the mango and spicy thanks to a jalapeño. Crunchy thanks to coleslaw mix and red onion. And it’s creamy and tangy thanks to a quick and easy dressing. It is the perfect compliment to the crispy shrimp.
So if the spring weather is getting you excited for tacos too then these Fried Shrimp Tacos with Mango Slaw NEED to be on your menu. And I am thinking that the next Taco Tuesday would be perfect.
